Few things wrong with this: 1) 250 is TOO LOW for turkey legs if you want bite-through skin. When he cut it at the end, notice how the skin was rubbery. GROSS. Need at least 300 degrees (300-320) to get nice crispy skin. 2) 48 hour brine with cure is too long. Thing must have tasted super salty. 12-24 hours max for a good ham flavor where the Turkey can still shine through. 3) Using the little poker thing is .. interesting. A better way to let the brine into the meat is to just pull back the skin and wrap it around the bottom of the drumstick (but don't detach it from the drumstick). Brine it like that with all the meat exposed. Wash it off under some water after its done in the brine. Then take the skin and pull it back over the leg like you're putting it on like a sock. Take some sharp toothpicks and secure the skin to the top of the leg so it doesn't "shrivel" up and keeps its shape during the smoke. 4) Take a oven safe dish and put a few cups of water in it. Place that in the smoker when you're smoking turkey legs. Keeps them from drying out and contributes to a crispier skin in my opinion. 5) His brine, while OK (brown sugar, salt, and cure are all that are needed really), is very watered down. 4tsp:3tbls:1tsp (salt, brown sugar, cure) to every 1.5 cup of water is best. Anything else you add in there (like peels, sticks, and leaves) is whatever, all of those will not really add too much flavor like the salt will.

Thank you for sharing this recipe, I don’t indulge in eating pork, but I do adore ( turkey ham ), which is very difficult to find.

Can't overestimate the importance of a large turkey leg, at least as big as he is using for this recipe (24 oz.). My experience is that 28-32 oz. works best. The LC
